Contextual Matching of Software Library Components

Many automated programming environments construct software by integrating predefined components from a software library. A fundamental challenge in this process is to match the programmer’s specified requirements against the stated capabilities of the components. We explain how the chances of successfully achieving a match can be increased by taking the program context surrounding each requirem...

Groupware Components as Providers of Contextual Information

Group work context involves many more elements than individual work context. Few researchers have tried to identify context for groupware systems. However, such models are limited to certain kind of contextual information such as location, while others more relevant for group-work are neglected. From a review of the work done in groupware, we discuss three main components for considering contex...

Contextual Geometric Structures: modeling the fundamental components of cultural behavior

The structural complexity of culture cannot be characterized by simply modeling cultural beliefs or inherited ideas. Formal computational and algorithmic models of culture have focused on the inheritance of discrete cultural units, which can be hard to define and map to practical contexts. In cultural anthropology, research involving structuralist and post-structuralist perspectives have helped...

Learning principal components in a contextual space

Principal Components Analysis (PCA) consists in nding the orthogonal directions of highest variance in a distribution of vectors. In this paper, we propose to extract the principal components of a random vector that partially results from a previous PCA. We demonstrate that this contextual PCA pro vides an optimal linear encoding of temporal con text. A recurrent neural netw ork based on this p...
